This pub is located on the Borough, the small square at the centre of the village. Phelips is the name of the family most closely associated with Montacute House. All the old buildings are built of the golden yellow hamstone which is somersets finest building stone. the stone is an oolitic limestone that comes from the Ham Hill quarries just next to the village. The name Montacute come from Mons Acutis (pointed hill) referring to St Michaels hill also next to the village.
